So, Who is Using WEN CC as Their Facial Cleanser?

I know some of the forum members have done this, but I haven't kept track of who or their success. I am content with my skin care routine, but last night I was persuaded to try some CC as my facial cleanser so I used about a quarter's worth from my "frankenbottle". Wow, the menthol really woke my face up! I left it on for a couple of minutes (not very long) before removing it with a warm, wet washcloth. I applied my toner, followed by my alpha hydroxy acid gel. My face tingled like it hasn't done in a long time. I didn't use quite as much PM moisturizer as I usually do. My face feels so soft and not a bit oily. I'm wondering, though, if consistent use will cause block and enlarge pores? I'd like to hear about others who are using the CC as a facial cleanser and their success. I'd also like to hear from those who didn't have such great results using the CC this way. Thanks.

I've been using the SOB as a face wash for about a month. And then I use the oils on my damp face as my moisturizer. I haven't used anything else in this time. I love it!! I have noticed all my blackheads are gone, fine lines are a lot harder to see. I used to breakout around my chin, I haven't in over a month! So glad I tried this! I don't think I'll be using anything else from now on! :-) Hope this helps!
Love my Wen, Love my Animals! God Bless You All!

I am!!! I have sensitive, oily and acne prone skin. I have had nothing but success with wen as my skincare! I use my bgt as my cleanser. Sometimes I use my clarisonic sometimes not. No clogged pores here, they're actually shrinking! I'm less oily and retaining moisture better too. I use my bgt spray after washing, or sometimes my tt spray. Then I use my tt oil. I love wen!

I don't mean to be a downer and I'm not verbally bashing WEN or Chaz Dean, but you may want to be careful. I don't think conditioners, even cleansing conditioners, were meant for the face. The skin on the face is very delicate. If it's working for you, then that's good, but just be sure to be careful.

I've been doing this for over three months with no problem. Chaz says in his presentations that he does this too. The formula I use has skincare ingredients in it.

I've been using 613 for about 6 months and I like it, most of the time I use my Clarisonic Mia and haven't had any problems , I always use one of the replenishing mist on my face and hair afterwards, 613, Bamboo Green Tea or SOB

Re: So, Who is Using WEN CC as Their Facial Cleanser?

I have been using 613 with my clarisonic since sometime last summer. Then I mist my face with TT RTM followed by 4 or 5 drops of TT oil. My skin is clearer, brighter and softer than it has ever been. I rarely get any type of breakout now but before Wen I used to break out frequently. Recently I had a facial after my skin cancer check up at my dermatologists office and the girl complimented my skin and asked me what I used. When I confessed that I used Wen she said she has had a few patients tell her the same thing! In fact, she said she was going to check it out and try it herself! I think I may have posted about it at the time.

JLF,

I used Lav on my face earlier this year. It made my skin peel, which is very odd for me.

During a recent cleanse, I had excess TT and 613 on my hands, so I used that combo on my face. Love it! I'm going to do that a few times a week.

Get your flu shot...because I didn't.
